Greek mythology also includes a number of monsters and strange creatures such as the one-eyed Cyclops in the Odysseus story, a gigantic boar in the fabled Kalydonian hunt, sphinxes, giant snakes, fire-breathing bulls and more.
Best Answer: No they aren't the same. I was prescribed Oxycontin and Oxycodone because I have lung cancer. The Oxycontin was taken twice a day every day, and the Oxycodone was taken whenever I had breakthrough pain in between. The doctor switched me to Morphine Sulfate because the Oxy's weren't working that great.
You can break any pill in half if you want to. (As long as it isn't a capsule...) I wish you the best of luck with your struggle. I also wouldn't worry about getting addicted, you just need to control your pain. Oxycontin is just as addictive as Morphine, anyways.y heart goes out to you as I live with someone who has unremitting pain. The purpose of extended release tablets is for pain management, that is maintaining the pain at a bearable level. My husband takes slow release Morphine and has short acting morphine tablets for break-through pain. Oxycontin did not work for him.
